#2 Let me see : no triple canopy jungle, no direct land border with a hostile Red China, no 30+ years of guerrilla warfare experience before fighting the US, no Soviet Union pumping billions of dollars worth of weapons a year to the Libyans, and no LBJ around to micromanage. Other than that, Libya is exactly like Vietnam.

#5 ...thousands and thousands of Libyans will die if the United States enters or NATO enters.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the Libyan army, Mo. But, in PC World, this is a bigger deterrent than nuclear weapons.

#6 Why would the US even consider going into Libya?

We tried to assassinate Old Nutbag at least twice, we bombed the crap out of the country and Italy is sucking down most of the oil anyway.

Let THEM go fight for their boy. We don't have a dog in that fight.

#7 Will a Line of Death drawn in the sands of the desert be more effective than a Line of Death drawn in the waters of the Mediterranean? The last one seemed rather...permeable.
